History

Khalifa Khudoidad was one of the princes of Khorezm, who came to Bukhara and studied at the Mir Arab Madrasah. He lived in the village of Koli Odina and built a house there. During the reign of Amir Shah Murad, he built a 40-room madrasa, a cistern, ablution hall and a mausoleum. Khalifa Khudoidod was one of the most famous calligraphers of his time.

The foundation document of this madrasa has been preserved. In 1797-1798, the madrasa foundation donated for the madrasa the land in Jilangu massive in Samjan district, the village of Bozorchayi Boqi in Poyrud, the Khuri Kholis land consisting of several parts in the Baqi Muhammad Khan district, and 2 pieces of land in Ermavzi district in Farr district. This foundation document was drawn up in 1798 by Sheikh Khudoidad ibn Tashmuhammad Azizan and Muhammad Sharif ibn Mir Muzaffar. Five more foundation documents related to Khalifa Khudoidad madrasa have been preserved. This waqf document contains information about the teachers who worked in the madrasa and the students who studied.[2] Sadri Zia wrote that there were 36 rooms in this madrasa.[3] 2 students lived in each room of the madrasa. Those who did not come to classes for 2 months and 10 days without reason were expelled from the madrasa. This madrasa was built in the style of Central Asian architecture. The madrasah is built of brick, wood, stone and ganch.
